My hubby is off on some much needed and much deserved "guy time"...and I did not totally and completely take advantage of his absence and waste waaaayyyyy too much time on the computer, last night! No way would I do such a thing!! Ha! I would spend my time cleaning and doing laundry and scrubbing floors with a toothbrush...no way would I waste valuable time on the computer! Not Me!

I do not totally and completely feel like a bumbling idiot (pronounced "ih-jit") with my recently acquired Photoshop...it's ruthless. I do not start to edit a photo...only to scrap it within minutes...oh, heck, who am I kidding, within seconds. I do not have a new and complete understanding and sympathy for toddler meltdowns. I mean, gosh...if Photoshop is anything like figuring out how life works when you're two...I totally do not deserve to have a throw myself on the floor, kicking and screaming, boogery, slimy meltdown. Uh, uh...not me!

I am totally not a rule breaker. I follow every rule down to the finest print. I dot my i's and cross my t's. So, it is not me, who is letting my children have a "mental health day" today. No more school, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks!! Nope...I wouldn't ever even think about doing something like that. Not me!

It also is not me...who is doing my very darn best to enjoy this Christmas season! I totally did not learn from my "Bah-humbug" Christmas last year...that it just ain't worth it to stress! Christmas is the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year"!! And I am soooooooonot focusing on the spirit and meaning of Christmas...and enjoying family and friends and shopping and baking! I mean I am. But this is Not Me! Monday, so I'm not...

Wow, you were #1. How did you do that?? You must have stalked MvkMama's page this morning :o) My kids would love me even more if I gave them a mental health day but that means that my mental health would be in danger..LOL. No, my 9 year old is always trying to get perfect attendance so he wouldn't want to stay home.

I always get confused with Not Me-ing. I'm sure I really confuse my readers, too, if I get confused!!!! And I am trying photoshop... hate to say it, but I am in your ballpark as far as wanting to throw a temper tantrum. I think my computer hates it.

Haha, I NEVER do any of those things either, mainly wasting time on the internet while the hubs is gone hee hee. Certainly not while my daughter is napping too...that's time to clean and bake from scratch!! :) Haha!

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here: Halo Braid Tutorial! Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this:

Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story! And this story...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this:

You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. (Ahem...) Just keepin' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just interject here...sorry for …

About Me

As a thirtysomething mother of five, wife to Mr. Wonderful (does that make me Mrs. Wonderful by default?), I try to enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate every day. I'm proud that I define myself as a mother and a wife and that my career (I moonlight as a nurse) allows me to prioritize my life this way! I'll admit, mothering 5 is a challege, but the joy that it brings is worth all the heartache, chaos, stress and tears!!

Mr. Wonderful

My hunka hunka burnin' love!! Mr. Wonderful is "Most Likely to be Voted Husband of the Year". Seriously...the guy's amazing. He has an amazing work ethic, treats me like a queen and cherishes his children. He knows how I like my coffee and rarely balks when I need some girl time. He is an amazing man...and I am one lucky woman to have him!

The Pal

Our oldest child, "The Pal" has turned out to be a pretty amazing young man. Currently in college...GAH, COLLEGE!!! (how did this happen?!), he is his littlest sister's hero and makes his mama proud.

The Belle

E-Dubya (or E.W.)

Our second son, this boy fiercely loves his mama, is tender hearted, has the most amazing infectious laugh, is a hard worker, and an even harder player!

Hambone

Our "baby boy", Hambone is goofy, sometimes aloof, entirely his own person, and a miniature copy of his dad. His one-liners leave us laughing non stop. Comedic relief...at it's cutest!

Baby Girl

Our babe, she is a force to be reckoned with! So unlike her brothers and sister, she is incredibly strong willed, independent, and stubborn. She loves to check the cows with daddy and loathes shopping with her mama. She will most likely be found with a dirty face and sticky hair...
